Best practices and tips for customization settings and features.
Below are some best practices and tips for how to get the most out of our customization settings and features.
1) Community Banner: The top and prominent image on the community homepage is Community Banner
-
To change your Communities Name and Subtitle navigate to Community Topbar >> Apps icon >> Community Settings >> General Settings >> Community Info >> Community Settings.
-
To change the Banner navigate to Path: Community Topbar >> Profile dropdown >> Edit Mode >> Banner Image.
2) Sidebar Widgets: the sidebar has various widgets that you can move around or take out completely if you would like. Just click 'Edit Mode' to make changes. Don't forget to hit 'Save'!
You can have different sidebars for your Home Page and for each Campaign Page.
3) Custom Sidebar Widget: There is a 'Custom' widget that you can use for whatever purpose you like (our favorite use case is for 'Quick Link's). This widget has a rich text editor to make it easy to bold text, add bullet points, hyperlinks, etc. There is currently only one custom widget that can be used across all pages.
4) Logo: The logo can be seen on the top left-hand corner (over the community banner) on all Custom Pages, the Leaderboard page, and the Profile pages. We recommend a transparent PNG. If no Campaign specific logo is chosen - then this will also appear on the top of the Campaign Pages. Change this image here: Path: Community Topbar >>Profile Dropdown >> Edit Mode >> Community Logo
You can remove the logo entirely (see screenshot below). This will also remove logos on the campaign pages (even campaign-specific logos). It can be done using the option Hide Community Logo from Community Banner option under Edit Mode >> Community Logo
5) Ideas View: You can set default views for users viewing ideas within your campaign pages. You can choose between; List View, Grid View, or Compact View (screenshots below). Setting a default filter for how ideas are organized is also possible! Your options for the filter are; Trending, Recent and Popular. Change this here: Customization > Customize Site Behavior > General > Default View & Default Ideas Filter.
6) Campaign Logo: This is a logo specific to a campaign. It will appear below the campaign banner and next to the campaign name on the drop-down navigation bar. This logo can be changed from Campaigns >> Manage Campaigns >> Pick the campaign >> Basic Information or while on Campaign page in the frontend Edit Mode >> Pencil icon for Campaign logo
7) Campaign Banner: This banner is on top of all the specific campaign pages. Change this image here: Campaigns >> Manage Campaigns >> Campaign Edit >> Basic Information or simply use the Edit Mode to update the image.
